Abandoning the Soul of the Church is the SAME as Abandoning the Body of the Church - (the reverse is also true)The Body and Soul of the ChurchThe Church in both its body and soul follows the earthly life of its Divine Master Jesus - from Adam and Eve until the End of Time - from its conception, birth (Pentecost) - growing in wisdom and grace (throughout the centuries) to its passion and death - and we are now awaiting the resurrection of the Church.
The soul of the Church is that which is internal to the Church - mainly - i.e. the virtues of faith, hope and charity. The body of the soul is that which is external to the Church - mainly - i.e. the Mass, the Sacraments and Catechisms.
One aspect of faith, hope and charity are those who believe in perpetual succession of the Papacy, hope for the resurrection of the Church and love the Church by praying for the Pope, the Bishops and the priests and the general welfare of the Church. Such members truly belong to the soul of the Church.
It is clear that the body of the church - the external aspects (i.e. the New Mass, the New Sacraments and New teachings) is dead as Christ's body died on the Cross. It is as though the soul of the Church is no longer influencing the body of the Church as Christ's soul left his body on the Cross - His soul no longer influenced his body - but yet His Divinity Mysteriously remained in both His human body and human soul.
As Christ's body became unrecognizable, so has the Church's body become unrecognizable in God's eyes. Such a similar mystery exists now in Catholicism - in that the Four Marks (One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic) - of the Church Mysteriously remains in both its soul and its body. Even though the body is "dead" (i.e. the external aspects of the Church - its New Mass, New Sacraments and New Catechism) the Four Marks some how remain in both the Church's body and soul - although the Church's body and soul have separated - only to return soon.
I think that to not believe in perpetual succession and universal acceptance (The Apocalypse reveals this dogma - Chapters 13 and 17), do not have any kind of hope for the restoration and resurrection of the Church, and simply do not pray for the Pope, the Bishops and the priests have severed themselves from the soul of the body of the Church. Such persons may think they belong to the body of the Church since they have Traditional Sacraments and traditional dogmas but in spirit they judge left and right their neighbor and have not the true soul of the Church. This is a trap that not to many traditional Catholics realize they have fallen into.
It is necessary to belong to the soul of the Church which is scattered throughout the world and is very much alive. We hope and pray that we will rise with Christ and his Church at its restoration and its resurrection which should be very soon
We must be faithful and loyal and remain alive in the soul of the Church - again mainly (the virtues of faith, hope and charity) - and one means is through prayer - no matter what the current body (the external aspects of the Church - i.e. the New Mass, the New Sacraments and New teachings) is doing - and pray for the Pope, the Bishops and the priests. For Only the Pope has the ability and is the only one man on earth who can bring about the resurrection - the re-joining of the body and soul of the Universal/Catholic Church by and through the Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
